BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE FORTNIGHT 02/12/2022: Metallica, Pharrell Williams, Chance the Rapper and more...
This week has everything from Pharrell beats to Metallica riffs. I did think about featuring some Christmas songs given that we're now in December (I've had artists bombarding my inbox with Christmas songs since September!), but there were too many great non-Christmassy songs that I thought deserved more attention. Other artists featured this week include Diamond Revolver, Natalie, Caleb Peters, O., Humour and Chance the Rapper.

After several rock-heavy weeks, this one is decidedly pop-oriented. Taylor Swift, Sam Smith and Meghan Trainor have all dropped new music (it’s like it’s 2014 again!). Meanwhile, there are underground gems from MorMor, Loren Aronov and Mar Omin.
